Situated on a hill top Les Lavandes has stunning views of the Calavon River valley and the Luberon hills. Marvelous sunsets. The rental is new, well equipped and very attractive. It is 10 minutes from the hill top town of Roussillon (the church bells can be heard ringing the hours) and a good location for day trips to Avignon, Aix, Orange, Pont du Gard, Nimes, Arles and other famous sites not to mention an interesting selection of hill top villages such as Gordes and Goult on the Roussillon side of the Calavon and the many villages of Peter Mayle country on the opposite side – Ménerbes, Lacoste, Bonnieux. There is a full scale supermarket in Apt (about 15 minutes) and another in the opposite direction in Coustellet, convenient for return trips from the west. Provence has some of the finest provincial Roman ruins outside Turkey, Syria and North Africa. Nearby is one example, the Pont Julien, just off D900 (on the access road to Bonnieux). It was in use until recently. The nearby ancient Abbey Sénanque, just beyond Gordes, is worth a visit. GPS is helpful for navigating the complex of roads connecting the villages. There are north and south on-ramps to the A7 at Cavaillon and Caumont. Patrick and Nadine could not have been more accommodating and helpful hosts.
